Get an Edge to Start Shawl Pattern

Description

Start this lusciously fluid triangle shawl with a stunning 10" wide edging. The sample I made is worked in a beaded yarn and a companion unbeaded plain yarn. I used the beaded yarn for the edging, then filled in the triangular body of the shawl with a lacy diagonal trellis stitch in the unbeaded yarn. The upper edge of the shawl is finished in the beaded yarn. The points at which the edging meet the body along the upper edge of the shawl make a nice design feature where you can overlap a bit for closure with a shawl pin if you wish.

Sample model is knitted with Tilli Tomas Beaded Lace 100% Silk with Petite Beads (50g/165 yds - 3 skeins) and Tilli Tomas Demi Plié 100% Natural Plied Silk (50g/290 yds - 2 skeins), both in color 280 Washington. US 5 / 3.75 mm needles suggested.
